His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
We've been around long enough to become memesters; the Seldon Crisis will center around whether we can be non-shitheads for more than a few seconds at a time.
HOLY SHIT YES FOUNDATION REFERENCE BEST MEMBER

id like to point out that there are probably a lot of different reasons that some people dont post as much anymore, and there's no single "fix" that will automatically double activity and kill the negative atmosphere.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
exactly now we have to take exam period into account but regardless at least talking about improvements/changes is a start

EDIT: I looked up the stats myself.

I can't vouch for most of 2015 since I didn't come back for real until December. But yes, month by month we are lower by about 10-15k. But we're not even half way through the year yet so I wouldn't call us dead yet. However last year's total seems a tiny bit inflated from a single month being grossly high in comparison to the rest.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
It's really not hard to figure out why people don't really bother posting anymore.

Yes I'm seeing it, thank you.

A lot of the older users here have mentioned they're not as invested as they were before and these are the ones with the absurdly high post numbers. So the main contributors to post count is diminishing. For whatever reason, people aren't as invested as they once were when they first started. I don't know what's changed, if anyone could tell me what an average night was like April of last year that'd be great.

But to add onto what Varg posted as well, I feel like toxic behavior might be have something to do with it? I'm not going to mention any names.....he knows who he is.....but if people are adamant about calling each other troglodytes, shit lords, and uneducated fucks, that's not exactly welcoming to people who may be able to break post counts.

"WAAAAAAH STOP DISAGREEING WITH ME AND MAKING FUN OF ME"

The day I make alts and harass you through PM's is the day you can call me toxic. Until then, I'm somebody you dislike for your own bullshit reasons.

If anything, you're toxic by your retarded standards. You have shitty opinions that you shove down everybody's throats and call people all sorts of names for disagreeing with your shitty meme opinions and you're a huge fucking whiner. You're like a gayer, retarded Verbatim with a shitty taste in music and pretty much everything else.

HANG YOURSELF
Toxic =/= harasser

Toxic just means you're an extreme asshole.

I may have contraversial opinions that I'm passionate about, but I don't go out of my way to be a douche to people.

>toxic behavior

First of all, there's no toxic members here. They've all been permabanned. Secondly, a toxic environment doesn't drive people away. Why do you think places like /b/ are so popular?
/b/ is only popular with toxic fuckboys though. it very much does drive people away.

Let's be real here though, most if not everyone is guilty to contributing to some degree. Some more than others but that's besides the point. The main source of entertainment here is berating other people, and that's not really a good indicator of the status of things overall.

Well there's complete anonymity on /b/. The same can't be said for this site as users can develop distinct identities.
